From: Rob Cohen, Director of Public Works
Subject: Authorize the City Manager to approve a Local Project
Advance Funding Agreement (LPAFA) with the Texas

Action
Requested: Authorize the City Manager to approve a Local Project Advance
Funding Agreement (LPAFA) with the Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) for the installation and construction of
traffic signals at the intersections of State Highway 114 frontage
roads and Kirkwood/Solana Boulevard in an amount not to exceed
$280,000.
Background
Information: A signal warrant study was completed in relation to the TD
Ameritrade development for four intersections. The signal warrant
study identified the eastbound and westbound State Highway 114
frontage roads at Kirkwood Boulevard/Solana Boulevard as
needing to be upgraded from stop controlled to traffic signal
controlled. The signal warrant study and traffic impact analysis also
identified geometric improvements for these intersections. A
design contract was awarded by City Council to Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc. at the March 7, 2017 meeting. The design is
currently at 95% complete.
Staff has been working with several partners for this project to
include the Town of Westlake, the County and TxDOT. To date,
one Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with Westlake was approved by
both the Southlake City Council and the Westlake Town Council.
The Tarrant County Commissioner's Court and Tarrant County
Precinct 3 Commissioner Gary Fickes are proposing to commit
Precinct 3 discretionary bond funds in the amount of$250,000 from
the 2006 Tarrant County Bond Program. The ILA for this endeavor
is being presented on tonight's agenda under Item 4H.
Item 4F
TxDOT is drafting a Local Project Advance Funding Agreement
(LPAFA) to stipulate local contribution for the traffic signals.
TxDOT will not proceed without a signed LAPAFA. Staff expects
the City to receive the LPAFA in July, during the City Council
recess. In order to maintain a very tight project schedule, staff is
respectfully requesting and recommending that the Council
authorize the City Manager to execute the proposed LPAFA for an
amount not to exceed $280,000. This action will allow the project
to continue on schedule without interruption in order to meet the
desired project completion later this year. The requested action will
then be ratified by City Council at the August 1, 2017 meeting.
The procurement of the decorative poles to be used in the
construction of the proposed signals (Item 4K, 6/6/2017 agenda)
was authorized by the City Council on June 6, 2017.

CIP budget.
